ok ok Karl a cheap way of telling us all we had forgotten to congratulate you. Profuse apologies and you join a talented list........

No worries - you hadn't forgotten, as I hadn't told anyone (being as modest as your good self Mike)

But, did want to remind everyone that it is a talented list and club members should be using their coaches more

(have a sneaky feeling if you had maybe you would have done MB at the first attempt..??)

Thanks anyway.

Ok, well I'm guessing I either e-mail one of the coaches or do a general appeal....everyone seems to be an Endurance specialist but I dare say some have more of a leaning to speed than others.

I'll do a request on my 'How long...' thread since I've neglected it for a while.....

Cheers Karl.

Steve, do either.

Email a specific coach, or have a chat down at the club with one.

Congrats Karl

Good luck Steve I'm tempted to try this route as well, not the sub 70 10 miler (well not yet) so far i've used the MIUAYGA method (thats for those who don't know make it up as you go along) only barriers are my shift work and approaching the busy christmas time)

sorry, endurance running as opposed to shuffling over the mountain tops with your flip flops on for four days...

no offence

Equally, 800m = endurance ??

Well I suppose it depends how fast you're running....!
